Woodie (car body style)

A woodie (or a woodie wagon) is an automobile where the bodywork is constructed of wood or is styled to resemble wood elements. The appearance of polished wood gave a resemblance to fine wooden furniture, and on many occasions the wood theme continued to the dashboard and inner door panels, including the rear tailgate.

Originally, wood framework augmented the car's structure. Over time, manufacturers supplanted wood construction with a variety of materials and methods evoking wood construction – including infill metal panels, metal framework, or simulated wood-grain sheet vinyl bordered with three-dimensional, simulated framework. Wood construction has also been evoked abstractly on the Nissan Pao (1989–1991) and Ford Flex (2009–2019), with a series of horizontal grooves and strakes.
